   From this thread.

Well, I've got them done and a right bugger they were..
Changed the top mounts at the same time which was the easy bit.

Jacked the car up, took the wheel off (axle stands underneath as well). Put another jack underneath the trailing arm and undid the stabiliser and the top mount so I could change the mount at the same time (no need to faff around with the bottom shock bolt).

Only real problem was putting the new spring on, had to lever it in with the jack handle.

Was going to take pics but couldn't be arsed as my hands were filthy.

It's a piece of pee to do (apart from levering the new spring on)
